Capn12 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 07:22 PM) It's hard to understand an established mediocre pitcher is being mediocre? How anyone could be "surprised" by this is beyond me. The Edwin Jackson that went 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA last year says hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigHurt Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The Edwin Jackson that went 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA last year says hi. The Edwin Jackson from Edwin Jackson's career says hi back. E-Jax is going back to being E-Jax again. I love this mentality that if someone is getting traded to the Sox we have to start building him up like he's some great player. Or maybe it's just a small amount of success he had last year that tricked people into thinking he's becoming some bona fide star now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEdWalsh Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well....Sox could be down by a lot more. Hopefully we get some offense tonight. LET'S GET SOME RUNS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I don't think anyone thought EJ was going to be some sort of star with the Sox, but most expected someone serviceable. Right now, he fools no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 This makes my decision of whether to watch this or Canucks/Bruins so much easier. Watching Jackson pitch is so frustrating. I swear that I get dumber watching him throw. Danks is less frustrating to watch right now, and that's saying a lot. Speaking of which, watching Danks in person on Monday should be a lot of fun. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Who was the genius who traded Daniel Hudson for Jackson? I don't think it was Ozzie. Same guy that signed Adam Dunn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, he fools no one. I think a lot of people expected Jackson to be starlike. Otherwise you're crazy to trade a pair of young cheap pitchers for him. Remember, he was an All Star just a year before we traded for him. that's what people were hoping for, the 2009 Tigers version of Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value we gave up for him was fair value for a guy who should be turning into a very good player. Not necessarily an Ace, but that was value you give up for a #2 pitcher.

Capn12 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The trade didn't make any sense to me at the time, but after the finish of 2010 EJ had, I thought maybe it would work out. Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillibridge should be in LF pretty much everyday until he either proves he can handle it or he gets exposed. But Ozzie and Kenny love vets, and they are not about to bench a vet to put him in.
